The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels of energy literacy among 276 Form 2
(Grade 8) Malaysian students as no similar study has been previously conducted in the
country, as well as the contribution of students’ energy-related knowledge and attitudes on
their energy-related behaviors. This was a non-experimental quantitative research using the
sample survey method to collect data by using the ‘Energy Literacy Questionnaire’ (ELQ).
Independent samples t-test, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple linear regressions
were used to analyse the data. The study found that levels of energy literacy were
relatively low suggesting that the implemented curriculum had failed to meet the specifications
of the intended curriculum that emphasises the relevance of energy-related issues to
students’ everyday life experiences. The authors suggest that there is a need to emphasise
the importance of a context-based curriculum specifying criteria that embrace broad energy
literacy with benchmarks related not just to science-related energy content but also recognizing
the importance of practical energy-related knowledge, decision making skills, value
judgments, ethical and moral dimensions, and issues of personal responsibility related to
energy resource development and consumption in Malaysia
